Niacin
- ... that niacin is not only a vitamin, but also the first cholesterol-lowering drug, pre-dating statins by decades? From end of History section: "In 1955, Altschul and colleagues described large amounts of niacin as having a lipid-lowering property.[109] As such, niacin is the oldest known lipid-lowering drug.[110] Lovastatin, the first 'statin' drug, was first marketed in 1987.[111]"
